7 Signs You're in a Cage Business (and Why That's Not Your Fault)

You know that feeling when something's off in your business but you can't quite name it? Everything looks fine from the outside: good revenue, established clients, and a professional reputation. But on the inside, you're exhausted, resentful, and trapped in something you built yourself.In this episode, I walk through seven signs that you might be in a cage business. From saying yes to work you don't actually want, to hiding your boundaries and then breaking them, to performing a version of yourself you don't recognise, these patterns are how cages get built, bar by bar, yes by yes.I'm sharing my own stories from when I was deep in my cage business at 38, not because they're special, but because if you're feeling this way, you're not alone. You can't change what you can't see. This episode is about awareness, recognition, and finally naming what's actually happening.You're not broken. You're just in a cage....and cages have doors.Ready to go further?
